Huh?

Okay, now that I've been informed about the Leak Frog there is nothing in this world that I want more. My apartment is riddled with poor piping. A multiplicity of adorable frogs? Yes, please!

As for a blinking mailbox? I think my budget should be spent elsewhere.

I love my leak frog and it keeps my plumber amused!

FAIL - Wrong product.

Really should buy one as a Christmas present for my mailman, er, postal worker. But if I leave it in the mailbox for them they'd probably call the bomb squad or something, so never mind.

Is it compatible with my P.O. Box?

Will this work with my Android?

So cute. Wish it weren't just for PC users.

Without question, you could disassemble the mailbox dongle, wire it into your woot-off lights, and use this software to control them.

Great gift for people you don't want as friends anymore.

I wish all my mail were cats... Instead I only get letters from my "friends" at Comcast and US Bank.

Your sister?! Aww I hate when siblings don't get along. sad

My computers look like mission control, I have no more USB ports! And yes, I use those octopus like thing-a-ma-bobs.

She can't take much more Captain!

If this were data stick I'd be snapping them up. I thought it was when it first popped up, I thought finally something functional and funky...like the Leak Frog

For the person who is absolutely addicted to their email, facebook, and twitter accounts...

I'm bad enough without THAT.

Just to break up some of the cats...

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD SELL A MAILBOX USB ON THIS SITE!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! I GYPSY-CURSE YOUR WEBSITE, AND MAY LOSERS OCCUPY YOUR PARKING LOT.

lol, one woot wooter threatening to walk.

Raise your hand if you're shocked it sold out as fast as it did!!!

Its seems like it should be possible to hack/mod this into a method to control Woot Lights.

I'm in for three. Along with the controller software above, I can program these to do my evil bidding. Muuuuwaaaahahahah

That's great if you have a RISC OS.

"This application should work on any RISC OS computer with a USB interface. This means a BeagleBoard, an Iyonix, or a Risc PC with a Unipod or USB podule by Simtec or Castle."

Too bad, Woot is losing a very good customer, seeing that you've only purchased 1 item.

...and quit shouting.

DAMNIT I really wanted one so that I could link it to twitter and make it into a wootoff update light.

What had me worried is that their site http://www.dreamcheeky.com/mailbox-friends-alert
Site off-line

The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

is either off line or was overloaded by us wooters

You dont realize a facebook update or twitter message... youll get over it

After installing the software on my PC properly and entering in the correct information for email address and password for my hotmail.com account, I still am receiving an message stating I have entered in the incorrect address/password. Would somebody please help me with setting this up? Thanks in advance!

I have them working on 2 Linux systems.

https://github.com/daniel-git/usblamp

Turns red while my bashpodder script is downloading so I know not to plug in my mp3 player. Working to make it turn green when files are ready for my mp3 player. Then turn off when it is done copying the files to my mp3 player so I know I can unplug it.
Really cool.

I did need to make 2 changes to the source code.

I can't post it here because it breaks the woot servers. If you want me to email it to you, PM me.
